The few 5 star country hotels in this area, just a one hour drive from Johannesburg, are now essentially conference centres with hotel facilities. To find a Country House that offers luxury, gourmet cuisine and serene surroundings is rare, but Quiet Mountain is such a place. John and Terence opened Quiet Mountain 19 years ago and by word of mouth... More

Quiet Mountain has become like a home from home. We arrive, have a light lunch in the gardens with a glass or two of wine, enjoy a siesta in our room, have a short walk as the day cools and then wait eagerly for dinner. The food is good, honest, home cooked fare using fresh ingredients from the garden wherever... More

We have enjoyed many weekends at this beautiful little country home & never seem to tire of it! The accommodation is very homely & comfy, the food superb, the gardens a joy & all in all a really relaxing place to escape the rat race of Johannesburg. Cant be faulted & cant wait to return!!!

We have now been to Quiet Mountain 4 times and each time has been fantastic!!! This last time we need some R&R after our wedding which was busy and rather hectic - John and Terence provided just what we needed!! The food was divine, service excellent, John funny, carming and just entertaining, our room an oasis and overall we had... More

Well, we can only reiterate what has been said already! In fact I would defy anyone to say anything horrid about this oasis. The absolutely 150% perfect getaway for a weekend of peace, beauty, GREAT food (go hungry) and some real funny entertainment...Mein host is a laugh a minute. The hiking is good and they pack a terrific picnic lunch... More

My partner and I have been visiting Quiet Mountain since 1995 and still love it. If you want to get away from the madness of the city it has to be the greatest option. The gardens are glorious, the beds comfortable, the food delicious and the peace is unbeatable. The owners of Quiet Mountain have resisted the temptation of commercialising... More

Read the reviews, but was not expecting such good food, service and environment. Recommend the walk up the hill - saw Kudu Bull close up the view from the top is well worth the effort; plus it helps make room for more great food.

we have stayed at Quiet Mountain twice and will return again next year, God willing, and it is just perfect. In effect a peaceful B&B in delightful grounds with a pool and wonderful views of the mountains. Run by two charismatic and eccentric men one of whom cooks and the other performs, there is no other word for it, as... More

Quiet Mountain is a little treasure close to Johannesburg far away from all the noise and fuss!!! The food is divine and the service excellent!!!! Order a tray of tea and it appears within 5 mins with homemade biscuits/ cookies too!!! The gardens are beautiful and add to the sense of peace and harmony and take the walk up the... More
